Please note that I do not "Support" this extension although I may have made it..It was made to pass on to Kevin to show what else could be done with using extra variables etc.

I am going to use this on a site i'm building, I'm not using the extension but instead just the code from the site. Have everything working, but the window is behind all my content. Any idea how to get it to show on top of my content?

@iamafireman insert the code below in Page HTML between<head></head> tags* set the z-index to what you require but I think 100 should be enough....

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
#PPMiniCart {
position: relative !important;
z-index: 100 !important;
}
</style>

Hello BaconFries,

I've been trying to fix "L" "R" issue, but couldn't find out how!
Do you have any clue how to do so?
Thanks.

Hi supersonictt I havent use the extension for some time now, what version of the extension are you trying to use the version that I supplied Ken with or his? I memory serves me correctly with mine there is two settings for the left/right one needs to be set to L for Left and the other set to Left and vice -verus for right.

@BaconFries

The version am using is the one that doesn't have the combo boxes and extra settings (as reading this thread, he has two version, the very first one which am using and the second one has combo boxes and more complex settings).
The version I have has L and R, but whenever I set it to R it doesn't appear on right, it always appears on the left. And you mentioned that you had the fix for that, could you please let me know how you did it?
Thanks.

You need to replace the old version with the updated one by Bacon Fries from this link

Well, in the same old extension, it was only the cart pinned to the top of the page, and I used the built-in add to cart button to show the cart.
Now in this newer version, it has combo boxes and other stuff (quantity...) that I found hard to setup, so I guess there is no way to remove them, right?

Thanks for your work on this ext.It would be really good if you could make the cart appear to the right by default as surely this is the accepted convention for most similar carts - I don't know of any that hover/stick to the left. It just doesn't feel natural nor intuitive to be on the left.

Our commercial "PayPal Mini Cart" Release http://www.mjh-software.org/wwb-extensi ... rce-02.php allow this to set via Display Edge - The edge of the page the cart should pin to. Set to left or right.

generate a useful handling. There are to ways to set the z-index:

(1) into WWB project side via STR++ - mostly forgot
(2) after wwb project publis with an outside "search and change" software

@ bourin what version of the minicart.js file are you using in your extension????
the code below is for the latest version of the minicart.js I was in contact with the author of the script regarding a issue regarding z-index order and this is what HE recommended so before being critical regarding this please check that YOU are using the latest minicart.js which this fix is for and not previous version of the script.....

Code: Select all

<style type="text/css">
#PPMiniCart {
position: relative !important;
z-index: 100 !important;
}

Has someone completed this useful extension?

To make any changes to the js file you will need to open it with a HTML Editor scroll down to line
87 function createCart() here you will find some code to allow you to make the changes...note if you open the extension again in wb then these will be lost and you will have to repeat.

Where is this file?

Re: PayPal Mini Cart

The js file will be located to where ever you have saved you project to on your PC/laptop look for a file named minicart.js

Re: PayPal Mini Cart

BF, that is exactly my problem. I can't locate the file, I am even using windows search on the specific folder where the projects are saved,
but it can't be found. Maybe there is a hard coding of the minicart.js file within the extension?
Thanks

Re: PayPal Mini Cart

The file is generated by the extension and will be placed in the folder that you have saved the project to along with all other files that are required for the page that you have the extension on...I have just tested this and the minicart.js always get saved to the project folder i save to. Maybe you have set that all js files get place in a folder named js or something else ...i would do a full search of you PC looking for minicart.js and I am positive it will be found...please note that I am not the developer of this extension and I am only trying to provide you assitance with this if you are have any issues I would post again saying that the file is not getting generated and the builder will assit you.

In Kevins version of the extension he only gave the choice to select L or R which only places the dropdown to the right what ever you select....In the js there is a extra selection that he left out you also need to be able to select left of right not just L or R, this can be fixed by making the changes in the js file by yourself by opening it in a HTML Editor such as Notepad++ and make the change as follows

Code: Select all

// set defaults
MiniCart.displayEdge = (MiniCart.displayEdge === 'L') ? 'left' : 'left'; <<<< for positioning to the left

Code: Select all

// set defaults
MiniCart.displayEdge = (MiniCart.displayEdge === 'R') ? 'left' : 'right'; <<<< for positioning to the right

But wasn't this already fixed and integrated and in an earlier version? Why isn't the option showing now? See your screen shot in earlier post:

@Patr100 Yes the version that I passed on to kevin allowed this without having to modify the code as I described. In Kevins version that you can download from the first thread this is required so you can position left or right.

@bendigo I wish I had the time to rebuild this extension, If I was it would be a total rebuild from the start and doing this takes times, but thanks for just saying put your "magic " to it ...

Still confused. I'm pretty sure the previous later modified version I had enabled this option without any manual tweaks as I refer to to using it earlier in this thread. So still not clear why it suddenly seems not to be work and where is that modified version to download as seen in the earlier screen shot? Is it the link in the OP's first post or not?

You can download the OP version from the url below, in this version you will need to modify the js file to allow you to position left or right, I have viewed all the pages in the thread but cannot find any reference to my build (download link). I will need to check if i still have a copy available, and If I have I will repost it, but I may not be able to offer support on this, as I really only made this to help Kevin out with some extra features that were asked for.If I have time I will rebuild the extension from scratch and the relaese it.

There seems to have been a link to your build to download here but it has been edited and removed since. That must have been where I got it from.
viewtopic.php?p=134371#p134371

As mentioned by Benigo's experience and mine, there surely should be no reason why it isn't continuing to work in the latest WB version. Just weird why it's not suddenly working as expected assuming we have your original modifed version of the ext, which is no longer linked for download.
Ok appreciate you may not have time to support it much.
